Dove was found as a stray and we cannot believe that no one has come looking for this sweet pup.  She is nervous at the shelter and loves to be comforted and snuggled by the staff and volunteers.  A cage is not place for this girl so if you think she may be a match for your family, come visit her today! All Perth Amboy Animal Shelter residents will be fully vaccinated, spayed/neutered and microchipped prior to adoption.  You must be 23 or older to adopt from the shelter, complete an Adoption Application and pay the associated adoption fee.  The application must be approved by the shelter staff and all adoptions are finalized based on the best interests of our animals.  Come visit us Monday - Friday between 10am and 4pm and Saturday/Sunday from 10am - 3pm.  Contact us at (732) 324-3877 and don't forget to ask about our Foster Program!February 9, 2025, 9:53 am

Story
** Current Location: in a private facility in South Korea ** • Rescue Story : A dog with its eyes completely missing, a dog whose body was entirely blackened, a dog with rotting genitals... We struggle to find the words to describe the horrors we witnessed. Like hamsters on a wheel, the dogs cried out for help. There were every kind of dog here, some that were once fashionable and others currently in demand. The once trendy dogs were dying in the corner, while those now popular were crying out for salvation with every part of their body. This place had been illegally breeding and abusing animals for 25 years. From this hell, the rescue team saved Momo. • Personality: Loves people, loves friends, affectionate Momo loves people and is very affectionate. Momo loves almost everyone she meets, but if she has bad memories, she might show discomfort if suddenly lifted, especially if her belly is touched. People who often praise her with positive expressions like "pretty," "good girl," and "the best" will be the best fit for Momo. • Affinity with -Cats: Not tested -Dogs: Momo gets along well with all dog friends. She has never shown rejection or dislike, but she has not yet experienced outdoor walks and meeting new dogs in public. We will need to observe Momo’s reactions when she meets different dogs in the future. She would do well with a calm companion, but whether she has a cohabiting dog or not does not seem to significantly affect her life. -Adults/Kids: She gets along with all the activists and volunteers she meets at the facility. / Not tested with kids • Shedding: 1-2 (1-10 scale) • Walking Manners: Momo has not yet had a proper walk. Once her adoption is confirmed, the rescue team will provide her with as much walking training as possible, but the adopter will need to continue practicing walking with her. • Housetrained: Momo currently only uses indoor pads. She still needs training, but once her adoption is confirmed, the rescue team will continue pad training, though the adopter will need to continue training with her as well. • Separation Anxiety: Not that we are aware of, but she really loves people and might become dependent on her family. • Likes & Dislikes: Likes people, touches, treats, and comfortable places! / Not a fan of sudden lifting, especially when her belly is touched. • Health: Momo doesn’t make noise when barking, possibly due to illegal procedures performed at the breeding facility. She had surgery on her right patella and is currently undergoing rehabilitation. The right mammary gland 1-2 has benign lesions, which have been treated with cryotherapy. Her left mammary gland 4 had malignant lesions, so a mammary surgery was performed. Also, given that the dog was rescued from a puppy mill, we believed she was likely pregnant in the past.

He is a "cuddle enthusiast" and often smiles when receiving attention. • Affinity with -Cats: Not tested -Dogs: Lulu has limited experience interacting with other dogs. He doesn't show much interest in them but could benefit from living with a similarly-sized companion. His social skills will develop as he gains more experience. -Adults/Kids: Lulu is affectionate and friendly with all people. • Shedding: 1-2 (1-10 scale) • Walking Manners: Lulu has not yet had proper walks. Once his adoption is confirmed, he will receive walking training, but continued practice with his adopter will be necessary. • Housetrained: Lulu frequently marks indoors and is still learning to use pads. More training is needed, and his adopter will need to continue this process. Once his adoption is confirmed, the team will continue pad training, but the adopter will need to maintain consistency with training. Baths/Brushing: He's calm during grooming, including nail trimming and brushing. • Separation Anxiety: Not that we are aware of • Likes & Dislikes: Likes People, treats, cuddles, and toys! • Health: Lulu has undergone surgery for both patellar luxation and is currently in rehabilitation.

Story
Canela is 3 years old she just turned 3 in October. She is a sweet baby looking for her person. She is dog friendly but we believe Canela will do great as the only girl. She loves dressing up and loves going on doggie walks. She loves car rides. Canela gets cooked meals and prefers wet food over kibble. She is very spoiled by her foster family. She is potty trained and will let you know when she has to use the bathroom. She is very smart and the biggest sweetheart.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Little Man is a handsome boy who is looking for a new home. Little Man is currently with our partner rescue in Louisiana. Unfortunately , it   was determined that Little Man has a serious heart murmur and the vet in Louisiana did not recommend proceeding with his neuter. Additionally, he recently tested positive for heartworm. Due to that murmur, slow-kill treatment for heartworm is recommended. Slow-kill treatment includes rounds of antibiotics and heartworm prevention over a period of 1-3 years until the heartworms are no longer present. Little Man has been started on this regimen. He cannot be neutered so will need to be placed in a home where this will not present an issue. He is on vetmedin to help his heart function. With murmurs, they can change abruptly or slowly over time. Little Man might be a hospice placement living less than a year or he could live for several years if progression is slow, it is very difficult to say.  Little Man and several other yorkie and Maltese were dumped at a shelter when their breeder shut down. Our partner rescue in Louisiana stepped in to help save these pups! They are all a bit shy but they are learning how to live in foster homes. They all LOVE other dogs and would do best in homes with other dogs. We aren't too sure on cats or kids yet for most of these dogs.  Little Man is up to date on vaccines. His adoption fee is $300.   Adopting a dog is a commitment that will require annual veterinary care at a minimum, training, exercise, enrichment, etc. Pet care is not cheap or easy and adopters should consider the costs, time and training   prior to adoption. After all these dogs have been through they deserve a loving, committed home. How to Adopt Me! If you are interested in learning more about me, and possibly making me part of your family, please go to wagoninn.rescuegroups.org. Click on the orange  Online Adoption Application  button to fill out an application. A Wag On Inn volunteer will be in touch soon! Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.December 17, 2024, 11:09 am
